A cold front will bring a chance for severe storms then much cooler weather: here’s what you need to know. Hey it’s Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Ryan Marando.
Saturday during much of the day will be dry, windy, and warm with temperatures in the upper 70s. The cold front will likely approach the Ohio/Indiana border around 3 p.m. then move across our viewing area during the late afternoon and evening hours.

A few of the storms, in a window between 2-9 p.m., could become severe, as shown we are under a level two out of five severe weather risk. If we see any storms turn severe, the primary concern will be for damaging straight line winds or even a brief, isolated tornado. Severe weather is unlikely to be widespread.

Then we get the changing temperatures. Sunrise services for Easter will be seasonable but chilly. Temperatures will likely start in the upper 30s and low 40s. Highs should reach near 50 degrees, so sweatshirts needed but at least it will be dry.
